Tuckwells to become Kramer dealer as JCB agreement ends
25th January 2022
JCB Agriculture and Tuckwells have announced that their dealer agreement for Suffolk and Essex will not be renewed, and Tuckwells has secured a new franchise.
Specialist machinery dealer Tuckwells has announced that it will be a full line Kramer dealer across its entire trading area – including the branches in Essex and Suffolk that were previously selling JCB.
Tuckwells managing director James Tuckwell said: “We are extremely excited to be entering this new partnership with Kramer who are a very well-known and respected global manufacturer producing leading material handling products. Their design, innovation and German build quality is of the highest quality, and they are the perfect fit for Tuckwells and our customers. We are delighted we will be able to offer Kramer products across our entire dealer network. […]
“The future for the Kramer brand is strong and exciting and we are proud to be adding another world leading franchise to our already extremely strong portfolio.”
The news follows the announcement that the contract between JCB and Tuckwells will not be renewed when it expires on the 31st December 2022.
JCB and Tuckwells have enjoyed a successful partnership since 2007 when the company was first appointed as a JCB Agriculture dealer.
Commenting on the development, Mr Tuckwell said: “This has been a very difficult decision for both companies. We will continue to support JCB agricultural products until the end of 2022 and we will work closely with JCB to ensure a smooth transition for all customers.”
JCB Agriculture managing director John Smith added: “Tuckwells have done an excellent job for JCB customers, and we have enjoyed a very strong working relationship with James and his team. It’s a relationship that has ensured customers received professional support for JCB products from Tuckwells’ sales, service and parts teams.
“We have reached agreement with two existing JCB Agriculture dealers to cover the territory and from January 1st, 2023; G & J Peck Ltd will cover Suffolk and Oliver Landpower Ltd will cover Essex. Further details of the new dealer arrangements will be made available in the near future.
“Both JCB and Tuckwells would like to assure customers that the partnership is ending on very amicable terms and our jointly agreed aim is to continue supporting our loyal customers, now and in the future.”
